The first official expansion pack for Quake 3, Team Arena adds not only firepower but gameplay as well. Harvester, one of the expansion's new play modes, has players venturing into the center of the arena for objects that they must then bring to the opposing team's base (think football with guns). Another new play mode is Obelisk, where players try to destroy the enemy's obelisk. The mission isn't as easy as it sounds; obelisks slowly regenerate when not being attacked.

There's also the kind of stuff you'd expect from an expansion pack. The chain gun and nail gun are both back (you gotta love the classics), as well as a proximity grenade launcher. There are several new capture-the-flag and deathmatch maps, and now teams can design their own skins and logos as well as choose from different character heads.
